Ivan packed the luggage in the overhead and sat down next to Alfred, who claimed the window seat. Ivan pulled out a plastic bag and pulled out the boxes.
"Now let us set the ground rules down, little one." Ivan said opening the boxes one at a time. He wanted to do this before the plane took off, so he had to hurry a bit.
"This game, this….DS, is a reward for you, if you are bad I will take it away, understood?"
Alfred nodded as Ivan handed him the console and the small games.
"I got you puzzle games and…others" Ivan made a face. The other games were mindless and violent; he hoped Alfred would favor the puzzle games.
Alfred put the game system and games into his (new) jacket's pocket. "Is your house big? How big is it? Do you have a big lawn? How cold is it in Russia? Do you have any pets? Any kids? Does anyone else live with you? Do you live near anyone? D-"
Ivan silenced the boy by placing a hand over his mouth. He didn't know what else to do; Alfred was just bombarding him with questions.
"When I remove my hand you will ask questions, one at a time, and wait for me to answer it before asking another…..got it?"
Alfred nodded, his big blue eyes focused on Ivan. Ivan removed his hand.
"Is your house big?"
"Da"
"How big?"
"….like….a mini castle I guess you would say"
"Cooooooooooooool…do you have any pets?"
"Da, a cat"
"What's its name?"
"…Kitty"
Alfred nodded. "How cold is it in Russia?"
"….Freezing"
"Does anyone else live with you?"
"Besides my cat? No one."
"Does anyone live near you?"
"Nyet, I live quite far from the nearest town"
"….nee-nyet mean 'no' right?"
Ivan smiled and nodded. "Da"
"Do you have any kids?"
"Only you, podsolnechnik"
"….what does….pe-peode-that…word...mean?"
Ivan chuckled, "Sunflower"
"Why did you call me that?"
"It is just being a name that suits you…"
"Oh….ok….Ivan?"
"Da?"
"I have to go"
~(o3o)~
Ivan handed Alfred the juice box he asked for and slumped in his seat.
They had to wait till the line was gone and once it was the plane had to take off. Ivan wouldn't move till Alfred go to go, which he did. Ivan was just glad the boy was potty trained, though it was normal for children of his age but he moved around so much Ivan wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't. It did however make him a tad bit sad, it would have been nice to potty train him…..
Alfred yawned after he finished his juice box. "Ivan?"
Maybe one day Alfred will call him daddy, he wouldn't make him but it would be nice. "Da?"
"Can I….sleep on you?" Alfred asked looking at his knees.
Ivan blinked. "Da." He unbuckled them both, picking Alfred up and sitting the boy in his lap. Alfred laid his head on Ivan's chest and his hands gently held onto Ivan's coat.
Ivan smiled. He was just too adorable! Ivan wrapped an arm around Alfred and his other hand rested on the boy's head, stroking his soft hair. Alfred nuzzled Ivan's chest and listened to his heart beat as he dozed off. Ivan hummed lightly and rested his head on the chair dozing off himself.
~(owo)~
Ivan thought the plane ride was pleasant. He woke up just before landing, Alfred still slept, so he held him in one arm, his arms draping over Ivan's shoulders and his face buried in the man's scarf. Sure it would have been easier if Alfred was awake, but he was fine. Though calling for a taxi would be difficult.
A young lady, who was with two children about Alfred's age, and a man, Ivan assumed her husband, called a taxi for him.
"Spasiba" Ivan said blinking.
She smiled and told him she knew what it was like looking at Alfred, before going with her husband.
Yes, that's right, he was a father now. A dad….
Ivan giggled. That sounded nice. Daddy. Maybe he could get Alfred to call him that later. Hopefully.
AN:
Awww Ivan is happy to be a new dad~! Alfred is just a cutie pie.
Um. I'd like to thank you all who favorite/reviewed/added me and/or this story on your alerts. I got a ton of emails from this for the first few days of posting it, it made my week so much better. :'D
I apologize for not getting this chapter up quicker, to be honest it has been ready since Tuesday I just needed to type it up.
Also I would like to add that I noticed that fanfiction doesn't like the little lines I add in Microsoft word to separate the sections, I went back and fixed it with little faces owo
If you are asking why I picked Kitty as the name for Ivan's cat I HAVE THE ANSWER. I am reading a story called Shenanigans and Alfred has been changed into a cat that Ivan has taken in. Ivan tried to find a name for him but the only name Alfred didn't hiss at was Alfred, but Ivan said he refused to call him that, so he's been calling him Kitty. ^_^ look it up, it is very funny.
